SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JO URNALt4. We shall not take it upon us to criticise Mr. O'Con nell's new plan of agitation. •He is an able master; the Tories have made him perfect in the art ; and we have no doubt his lately developed plan of operations will produce the requisite amount of ferment in the country. Let us congratulate the Tory statesmen upon the fruits of their husbandry. Men reap as they sow ; and it is also v,riLten, that they who sow the wind reap the whirlwind. The wheat and the barley may foil ; but, thanks to the industry with which the Tories _ll - ave . through the past Session har- towed the feelings of the Irish people, we may reckon con fidently upon an abundant crop of agitation. Success, therefore, we say, to the farming of the Peels and Lynd bursts ! Success to the harrow husbandry ! A merry au tumn is before us, and if we may not thank Pan, we may thank Peel for our full granges. Thank " the bounteous Peel," ye " unlettered hinds !" Who but the unlet tered hinds will thank him for such a harvest of uproar as we are likely to be blessed with in Ire land ? Let whlt will come of the corn, we shall have enough of the Corn-Exchange, the good people of Eng land may be certain. The ears of our English wheat may be empty, but there are Irish ears in millions that will be full enough of the harangues of demagogues, the only grain upon which Tory policy places no embargo. The trade of agitation is free at any rate, and it is the only trade that the Tories object to cripple. The consequence is, that if bread be scarce upon this side of the Channel, agitation abounds upon the other, and the policy of Conservative statesmen is to feed the people of England with the clamours and complaints of Ireland—the bread made of the whirlwind, which those who have sown the wind gather into their garners. Irish hubbub is luxurious feeding, and if Englishmen will not live upon it, they musthave coarsepalates, and deserve to eat nothing better than wheaten bread all their lives. The very prospectus of the Precursor Society is a dish that one might live upon a week, with the proper Tory gust for a meal of uproar. What a deal of eating there is in one of Mr. O'Connell's speeches, if the reader has only the true appetite for the Irish cry, and can live, like Don Ventoso in the romance, upon the blast of a trumpet, or the winding of a horn. Perhaps the Tories, after all, know the stomachs of Englishmen best ; and to be sure if the people of Ireland, as is an established fact, manage to live ipon mere excitement (for they have no thing else to lit e upon except potatoes), we do not see why the people of England and Scotland should not thrive equally ;Tell upon the same airy, or rather stormy, diet. Success, then, we say once more to the harrow hus bandry, and the Lyndhurst bread made of the whirl wind ! The Corn-laws in England, and the Corn-Ex change in Ireland—not Ceres but eEolus—not the horn of plenty, but the trump of agitation. A tempest for our breakfast and a tornado for our dinner ; the Precursor So ciety for the morning meal, and a Repeal Association for our evening repast. We trust we shall have no hypo critical murmuring at the coming storm, even should it prove a hurricane. If you desirelpeace, Tory Lords and Gentlemen, you should have sown the see of justice— as you scattered affronts and injuries, it is to be presumed that you prefer commotion to tranquillity. The public be lief is, that you have not yet had enough of Irish agitation, and that you wish to hear once again the roar of an ag grieved people. Depend upon it, your professions of anti pathy to demagogues will not go down with that great majority of Englishmen who are out of Bedlam, and exempt from the custody of the Lord Chancellor. The man knows nothing who does not know that but for you the Irish Agitator would be as idle as the Irish Parson ; and that itis your own rash and most unprincipled legislation that creates the ferment you have the astounding effron tery to rail at. You, who have most factiously, most pro fligately, and, we are compelled to add, most dishonourably and most treacherously, prevented j the concession of de mands as just and mojerate as justice and moderation obstructing the obvious themselves—you, who, by I:'!° 3 course that expediency no less than :visdom recommended, have effectually provided, as far as in yoti t sv,for the re vival and continuance of popular commotions,--are you the parties to complain, if the roar of the demagogue up again, and the empire is again shaken with his thunders? Pity, that in your behalf the laws of the moral world are not reversed, and oppression made the parent of tranquillity, and thrice repeated contumely the source of peace and satisfaction. Pity, that the Irish people are not the stocks and stones for which you would seem to take them. Of what is it you complain, Tory Lords and Gentlemen ? That you cannot oppress and insult the Irish, exempt even from the slight and most inadequate punishment of hearing their complaints under the lash. They will not be silent under the scourge ; they insist upon the privilege of screaming under the harrow ; they are determined that the empire shall hear their cries, if the Legislature will not re dress their grievances. Most unreasonable people! How little they deserve the distinction of being ground to the earth under tyrants of such high renown as Peel and Lynd hurst ! How unworthy they are of the splendid despotism of the Tory Peerage ! How utterly undeserving to wear the chains of men like the Newcastles and Winchilseas, the Westmeaths and the Rodeos ! A people of such little fortitude that when You strike them they strike in turn, and when you trample them they turn under your heel.— Morning C'hronicle. The accounts from the continental fairs apd markets re specting the produce of wool this year, and the prices cur rent at sales, appear extremely advantageous to the growers, and exhibit also great progress and activity in the woollen manufactures, particularly those of Prussia and Saxony. Although the markets have been abundantly supplied, yet prices were considerably higher than those of last year. At Stettin, in June, the quantity exhibited amounted to about 28,000 centzners, which was all quickly disposed of at a considerable advance upon the prices of last year. The buyers were numerous, but the principil purchases were for Prussian and Saxon account, the English and Belgians having found the rates too high. The fair at Stral sund, a few days previous to that at Stettin, was equally well supplied, but prices not so well sustained. At Cassel rile ending the 30th of June, of 15,000 centzners, 6 only remained unsold. At Lubeck, about 9.45,0001 b. weight of Hol,teio and Nleckli , nburg wools were exposed for sale on the :20th of June and days following, and sold at prives ranging 40 per cent. above those - of the year before. Here the buyers were chiefly English and Rhenish Pius. sian manufacturers. Numerous purchases had been made by anticipation, it is said, on account of English bouss from the growers in the interior on mot e favourable tcr,ns, which lessened the quantity of wool that otherwise would have Leen sent to this fair. At the fair of Warsaw, also held in June. this sales amounted to 13,600 centzners. At the fair of F,-unkfort-on.the-O,ler upwards of 10,000 centzners of?ordinary and midal:m qualities were purchased, prin dpally for account of Berlin hones. Consideinble supplies of wool were arriving at Berlin from Wes tern • and Nerihern Prussia ; the whole of the clip of those provinces and Poland, which was expected to reach about the middle of this month, would make the stock Oa hand at Berlin from 50,000 to 60,000 erntzners. These era the wools known as Pru sian which obtain a prefe e.ice with manufacturers g ne rally, uniting the softness and substance of the Silesian kith the strength of tine Pomeranian and Bran:lenburgh wools. It is remarked that throughout Germary the pur chases hate almost exclusively been for account of Gar man m inufacturers, the English operations gradually diminishing, on the contrary, every year. Purchases for German account had been made at Berlin to the extent of 50,000 centzners, at Stettin of 30,000, and at Offenbaeli of 10,000. The profits of wool growing in Prussia are alluded to as very considerable, and yearly on the increase, from the great encouragement given to this branch of in dustry by the Government ; and as the domestic manu factures absorb so large and yearly increasing a proportion, it is clear they must be equally flourishing and extending with the raw product.—Times. The presentation of a sword to the infant son of the Bake of Orleans by the municipality of Paris, is truly French and fantastic. A pap-spoon would have been a more appropriate present. But that would have been something rational, and servile flattery has as little to do with common sense as common honesty. The same muni cipal body that has exhausted its ingenuity to find out some novel and extravagant mode of expressing its fulsome adu lation to the " Citizen King" on the birth of the young Count de Paris, were equally adulatory, and quite as sin cere, when they did homage at the cradle of the infant King of Rome ; and yet the dynasty of Napoleon which that birth was to consolidate has vanished from the earth. Not less profuse and preposterous were the expressions of their devoted loyalty 0n the birth of the Duke of Bor deaux, the pledg e and guarantee of the stability of the throne occupied by the representative of the elder branch of the House of Bourbon ; and yet the Duke of X., like Bor deaux Na. is an exile, and Charles in a foreign tomb. So poleon and his son, reposes h Thrones much or. for, the consohdation of French by the fant as ti c al lip-service of the municipality of Paris to royal b a bi es in their cradles !ft is true we have the autho rity o f th e G re ek poets for the fact that the infant Hercules performed hi s first labour in the cradle by strangling the serpents that a m alevolent power had p laced there for his Majesty, had Th e ro yal infant, son of his Ol y mpic had only his naked hands wherewith to defend himself . from his envenomed persecutors. Nobo d y thought of de positing a sword in the cradle of the baby. To furnish the 'cradle of a new-born infant with such a weapon wee reserved for the wisdo m of the nineteenth century and the muniee pality of Paris. H appy King of the Barricades !. whose gra.odson is better armed in his nursery cot than the infant Hereu?ea, and that, too, for the purpose of destroying the monsters t'a't may attack—not him, but France—France threatened with :Ile monster of legitimacy and the monster of republicanism at I . l te same time, which, no doubt, the sword of the royal b a b y a 4 , 11. ut into a thousand pieces. 'OO . - NPA PEA \.....'7,... - A - iz The eloquence of tl.e Prefect of Paris upon laying the swerl beside the pap-boat was quite as original and striking as the gift itself. " This sword," says the orator, "in the opinion of the municipal corps, should neither recall that of Char lemagne nor that of Napoleon." We admire the geave an d solemn modesty of such a disclaimer. The municipality of Paris disdains to make of the grand=on of Louis Philippe a yourg Charlemagne or a young Napoleon. - Again, the Prefect, to whom the panegyrist of Trajan, and Lcentias, the rhetorician, were bankrupts in the language of flattery, thu . s delicately extracts a compliment from the sword of the grandson to the pacific virtues of the grandfather. " Permit us to say, sire, it is a sword similar to the one of Louis Philippe we bring to his grandson, which only starts from its scabbard /or the deface of our territory and insti tutions—the sword of the Prince who knows at the same time how to make himself respected by Europe, and to consolidate in France the reign of liberty under the laws." If England had a wise and able Government, the words of the orator, in allusion to the sword of Louis Philippe, would not be, as they now are, the enunciation of a ridiculous fiction. Such a Government would have taken care that the sword of the crafty and ambitious King, whom his flatterers have absurdly called the " Napoleon of peace," should never have " leaped from its scabbard" except for the defence of the territory and institutions of France. Since Louis Philippe has come to the throne which the Buonapartists and Re publicans of July won for him with their blood, no foreign power has committed any aggression upon the territory or institutions of France,and yet the sword of Louis Philippe has frequently been drawn, and has shed a good deal of blood. Have we not seen a French army, in a time of " profound peace," let loose upon the Netherlands to slaughter the subjects of the Dutch King, while the Eng glish flag heisted with that of France, under the auspices of the combined diplomacy of Talleyrand and Palmerston, threatened the coast of Holland with the broadsides of " naval demonstration ?" The conquests of France in Africa—the barbarous destruction of Mascara—the sack ing of Constantine—are they to be enumerated among the acts of blood and desolation achieved by a sword only drawn in defence of the territories and institutions of France by the Napoleon of peace ? We have no doubt the day will come when an English army will have to drive the French out of Africa, as our arms formerly drove them out of the East Indies and Egypt ; but it would have been better to have prevented France from making con quests on the shores of the Mediterranean, than to be obliged, hereafter, to expend much blood and treasure in dislodging her from those conquests—as assuredly must yet be the case when an Epicurean Prime Minister shall no longer sacrifice the great interests of this country to volup tuous indolence—and when the destinies of Great Britain will be protected by other weapons than the shafts of Cu pid. If the Prefect of Paris were what is vulgarly called a " wag," we might have supposed those allusions to the defensive sword of foreign conquest were covertly but bit terly sarcastic. As to the expression describing the Go vernment of Louis Philippe as" the reign ofliberty under the laws," it has all the air of solemn irony. The " reign of liberty under the laws" in France have been exemplified by incessant state prosecutions, ever since Louis Philippe mounted the throne of July, to put down the liberty of the Press and all freedom of opinion. So much for the truth of the absurd flattery uttered over the cradle of the Royal baby that is to " consolidate the institutions of France, and the dynasty to which she has intrusted her destinies."— Morning Herald. If any man were to assert that the prosperity of a peo ple was to be promoted by rendering the necessaries of life of difficult attainment, he would be considered as either demented, or making, through sinister motives, an expres sion of opinion contrary to his conviction. An abundant or sufficient supply of food is the first essential to a people's comfort and happiness. To dispute this position, or plainly and boldly to assert a limited or scanty supply of food to be conducive to the welfare of a people, would be an absur dity too gross to be perpetrated by any rational being. But the very assertion which is, in its broad fallacy, eschewed by all desirous of being regarded as reasonable beings, is insidiously advanced through tortuous sophistries by those who contend for the present system of Corn laws . for under whatever plausibility disguised , the ar gumentsvour of the continuance of prohibiting du ties oncoin f 4 rnreso!Ye themselves into the monstrous sup position that cheap food is injurious to the well-being of society. To a supposition so manifestly opposed to common sense and reason it would be a waste of time to attempt a refutation, as even the parties endeavouring to impose on others by delusive declamation'in favour of keeping up a high price for corn, must themselves be convinced of the fallacy of their own arguments. With the exception of the landowners and the recipients of tithes, whose tenths are increased proportionately to the increased price of corn, there is not a single class throughout the whole range of society-which does not suffer more or less injury from the operation of the Corn-laws. Save in the incomes of the landowners and titheowners there is no evidence tobe found of their utility, and even in these instances the advantage is obtained by a sacrifice from the rest of the commu nity infinitely more in amount than the benefits derived by the favoured parties. In vain do we look around through the i ,dustrial classes for evidences of the beneficial effects of the Corn-laws ; every testimony in dicates a contrary conclusion. Neither is the revenue of the country increased by these exactions ; but the reverse ; for as the prohibitory duties limit the extent of our commerce, the revenue must in this mode be seriously impaired. But the effect of the Corn-laws is not only to diminish the revenue, but increase the expenditure of the country. While we are by the high price of food, pre vented from bringing our manufactures into foreign markets, on terms of equal competition with other countries ; while we are, in fact, placing a drawback on our own energies and skill, which enables foreigners to supersede us in mar kets where, otherwise, we might establish an exclusive trade, we are under the necessity of victualling our navy and supporting our army at an expense far beyond that of any other country in the world. England was never in tended for an agricultural country. Her superfices is not suf ficiently extensive, and even if it were, it is on her commerce she must ever base the pillars of her greatness. An agrtcul u rid people may be a contented and comfortable people, but there is no instance on record wherein they ever le:- came a great, a powerful, or a wealthy people. The most powerful and we dthy States have been those who have drawn their provisions from -foreign sources, as history amply testifies. It is to her manufactures, not to her zer,- culture, that England must d.rect her solicitude, if she wish to maintain her influence abroad, or her comfort, peace, and prosperity at home. If it be desired to check the excitement in favour of extensive political change, the abolition of the Corn-laws affords the most certain medium of effecting the object. It is only when the people feel straitened or distressed in their domestic relations tha• they become clamorous for change. Let them have what they expressively term " frill and plenty," and they will care little to interfere in political agitation. So that if it be desired to suppress the clamour for Universal Suffrage Annual Parl aments, Vote by Ballot, a Reform of the Lords, and the other Reforms from uhich in their distress the people seek to work out their r..generation, toe mos t certain mode of effecting this object is a " Repeal of the Cora-la ws."-111orning A.lvertiser. CRIMINAL COURT-TUESDAY OLD COURT. Mvans.—After the acquittal of the woman Pow, one of the Counsel of the man .113ers stated that he was exceedingly de sirous to surrender at once, and take his trial along Kith Mrs. Pow ; but he was strongly advised not to do s.), and, acting upon that recommendation, he reluctantly declined to appear. It was said that he now int-nds to wait until the next Session, when he will surrender on the first day the Queen's Judges sit. Ann King, aged 44, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding William W.lson, with intent to do him some grie vous bodily harm. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up the evidence, observing that the woman appeared to have acted in defence of her hus band. whom sh e cons id ere d i n d ange r at the time. Thejury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault. A few da ) s a go a NEW COURT. young girl of genteel appearance , of the name of Mary B rown, alias Henderson, was c onvicted of stealing two ha n dk erc hi efs from the shop of M r. J. Smith. From the time of her apprehension down to the period of her conviction she strenuously refused to inform the Sheriffs, or any one else, respecting the residence of her friends or her connexions, which, from her dress and demeanour, were presumed to be respectable. She stated, as a reason for her silence, that she did not wish her friends to know where she had been. At the time of her conviction the Common Ser geant told her that if she.would give up the address of her friends, she should be forthwith sent home in a coach, without its being known whence she was sent ; but, in the event of her refusing to do so, she must take the consequence. The prisoner upon this assurance immediately gave an address, which proved to be incorrect and unsatisfactory. The COSINION- SERJEANT in passing sentence upon her this morning said she was the most extraordinary child he ever met with. The Court had hesitated whether they should not transport her, but it had been determined not to proceed to t' at extremity. The sentence, therefore, was, that she be imprisoned in the House of Correction for six months, and kept to hard labour. 'Henry Smith, alias Edward Jones, was indicted for stealing two boxes containing a dressing-case, a workbox, various ar ticles of jewellery, a Bible and other bnoks, besides a large quantity of wearing apparel, of the value of upwards of 40/., the property of the Rev. Henry Powell; and J. Crouch, Mary Williams, and Winifred Brady, were charged with re ceiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen. Mr. C;,ARKSON, in opening the case, said the prosecutor was a clergyman of the Church of England, and in the early part of the present month had taken his place on beard a vessel to proceed to India under the auspices of the Church Missionary Society. The Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to state at length the history of the boxes, from their transit from the Society's house until they were found in the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1838. possession of some of the priso: - .crs. The Magistrate before whom the charge was taken directed the Rev. Gentleman to proceed on his voyage, considering that there would be suffi cient evidence of identity without him. After hearing e% idence, The COMMON-SERGEANT summed up, and havincr very mi nutely pointed oi.t the various pal ts taken by the different pri. savers in the transaction, directed the jury to acquit Crouch, as the evidence did not affect him, besides which he had to a considerable extent furthered the ends of justice. The Jury instantly acquitted Crouch, and found all the others guilty. The COMMON-SERJEANT said, that Smith appeared to he incorrigible ; he had lately been incarcerated for a former offence, but no sooner was he liberated than he committed an extensive-and systematic robbery. The sentence of the Court therefore was, that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of 14 years. With respect to the females, they had re ceived good characters, and the jury had moreover recom mended them to mercy. The Court was of opinion that they ,vere not old hands, as they bad manifested a lack of that caution which was generally exercised by adepts in their business. The sentence, therefore, the Court was about to pass was very light—viz., that they be severally impri soned and kept to bard labour in the House of Correction for six months. At five o'clock Mr. Serjeant ARABIN took his seat upon the bench, and disposed of several cases of misdemeanour, the evi dence in which was totally unfit for publication. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• MANSION-HOUSE. A young woman of respectable appearance was brought be fore the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances: — Thomas Rice, a patrol of Coleman-street, stated that a few minutes before ten o'clock on the precedinc , night a gentleman informed him that a cab had been driven from King William. street towards Moorgatc-street. Upon turning into Alcor gate-street witness saw a cab, in which was a young . female screaming violently. The horse was dashing along without a driver, and witness stopped it, and after having safely disposed of the young woman, who appeared to be in great terror, de posited it in the Greenyard. Mr. Thomas Evans ran and called the officer, and the cab was stopped; but the person who had been driving suddenly disappeared, leaving the cab and the young woman to shift for themselves. John Meadows, a young man who claimed the cab as his master's property, stated that on Monday evening, at about a quarter to eight o'clock, a gentleman hired him near the Mansion House, and desired him to drive to Stone's End, a gin palace in the Borough. Upon arriving at the house the gentleman invited him to drink some bottled ale, and having placed the cab in the care of a man he accepted the invitation. While they were enjoying their liquor and conversation two young women entered, and called for half a quartern of gin. One of them was the female described by the former witnesses. The gentleman soon addressed them, and prevailed upon them to take some wine, and in the meantime witness went to give the horse a drink. Upon his return the gentleman got upon the top of the cab, and witness was putting the young women al luded to, who appeared to be under the influence of drink, in side, when suddenly the former said, " All right," whipped the horse, and gallopped off towards the bridge at full speed. Witness was tumbled upon his back by the suddenness of the movement, and upon getting up he ran as hard as he could towards London Bridge, jumped into a cab which was in the road, for the purpose of overtaking his own, but the horse of which was unable to get out of a lame trot ; he then jumped out, and jumped into another, which made no better speed ; and, at last, despairing of success, walked back to the gin pa lace in the hope that some chance might restore to him his master's property. Witness afterwards heard that the horse and cab were in the Greenyard. The LORD MAYOR—Is there any chance of finding this per. son who is called the gentleman? An officer said that the gentleman was most willing to re munerate all parties, but was obliged to go out of town. His LORDSHIP.--1 shall not expose the person, as he is will ing to make any recompense in his power. MAR YLEBONE. SEDUCTION AND DESERTlON.—Yesterday Inspector Rawley, of the E division, brought before the sitting magistrates, Mr. IlosKlNs and Mr. SIICTT, a neatly-dressed girl, about 17 years of age, who gave her name Mary Ann Cook. Police sergeant 13 E deposed that on the previous night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he found the prisoner pacing up and down Castle-street, Oxford-street. She was wringing her hands and sobbing bitterly, and on witness questioning her as to the cause of her grief, she said she was destitute of friends, and had no home to go to. Witness took her to the station-house. Inspector Rawley stated that when the prisoner was brought before him aLa the charge of destitution entered in the book, she made the following statement regarding her present dis tress:—She said that she was the daughter of a respectable farmer residing at Thornbury, in Gloucestershire, within 30 miles of Bristol, and that her uncle was an innkeeper at Ciiipstow, at which place, while on a visit to her relative, she unfortunately became acquainted with a gentleman whose name she understood from him was Austin. lie represented himself to be a man of considerable property, and having ef fected her ruin, he made a solemn promise to marry her if she would accompany him to London. She consented to this, and about six weeks ago they came up by coach. During the first two or three days after their arrival they remained at the Bull and Mouth, and he subsequently lived with her in hand somely furnished apartments ia the vicinity of the Edgware road. She had repeatedly reminded him of his promise, but he paid no attention whatever to her entreaties, and about five days back left her early in the evening without a single shil ling,. Under these circumstances she was obliged to leave her lodging, and when found by the policeman did not know to whom she could apply for shelter. She also expressed her fear that her father would not again receive her under his roof in consequence of her misconduct. The girl was questioned by the ;Magistrates, and gave in terms similar to the preceding the history of her seduction and desertion. Mr. HOSKINS—(to Mr. Messer, the Assistant -Overseer of Marylebono, and who was in atterOance upon other business) —This young creature h , %ing been found in so distressing a condition in your parish, you will not of course object, under the circumstances, to take her into the house for the present. Mr. Messer—Certainly not, Sir ; she shall at all events, be properly taken care of by us until we have had an opportunity of writing to and obtaining a reply from her friends. The girl thanked the Magistrates for their kind attention to her case,-and, accompanied by Mr. Messer, then left the office. Q UEEN-SQ UA RE. Thomas Flower, a silversmith, residing at No. 5, Caroline. place, Eaton-square, was yesterday brought up from Tot'iill fiAds prison to be discharged, .on entering into the ncces>ary rccognizance7. It will be remembered that, about five weeks ago, this per sun was found in Buckingham Palace at a late hour of night, wiihin a very short distance of her Majesty's sleeping apart ment, her Majesty -at the time having retired to rest. tie was first ch.,rged at this office by the police for endeavouring- to force his way into Westminster Abbey on the morning- of the coronation, and his wife was then sent for and questioned by Mr. GREGORIE. She stated that he had suff-red very severely from an attack of brain fever about three years ago, and that that disorder, added to great losses he ha d sustained in business, affected his mind severely. She added that if he had been drinking he certainly was subject to mental aberration. Twelve flays after this he was charged with being in the Pa lace, no person being at;le to ascertain how he gai ned admis sion. lie has been from that time confined in Tothill-fields prison, and although his manners are singular, the medical cen:lcmen who attended him do not consider themselves jus tified or called upon to give a certificate that would consign him to an asylum. Mr. WHITE, in addressing the defendant's wife yesterday, impressed upon her mind the absolute necessity of exercising as much restraint as she possibly could 'over him, and more particularly to restrain his propensity for ardent liquors. The parties then withdrew. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Ed. Roberts, a man of respectable appearance, and who was described 7.s living on his property, was brought before Mr. Jeremy, charged N‘ith attempting to rescue a pri soner from the police, and with assaulting the latter, and en deavouring. to excite the mob a;alust them. Mr. JEREMY, on hearing the evidence, expressed his surprise that a man having any pretensions to respectability should have so far forgotten himself as to interfere with the police in the execution of an arduous duty. . _ 30,000 The Magistrates havino. consulted together, inflicted a pe nalty of 101. on the defendant for the assaul:s on the police, and adjudged him to find sureties to keep the ponce. The dt fondant paid the fine, but he was locked up in default of finding the required bail for his future good behaviour. In the course of the day, however, a gentleman waited on Mr. Jeremy, and, after some conversation, which was inaudible, the Magistrate had the defendant brought before him again and reheard ; and said that after hearing what he did respect ing the accused he should remit the two 51. fines for the as saults on the police, but that he should eater into sureties to keep the peace against all her Majesty's subjects. The defendant was then fined ls. for each of the assaults on the policemen, and also made to enter into the requisite bail for his future good behaviour. C TRAVELS uspne eer i S WIN THE ES TE RN popularly known as the author of " Travels in Circassia," &c., and has esta blished his reputat ion as a traveller of great enter prise , obser vation,SPENCEß'S&c•—Captain and fairness. The volumes now before us are a con tinuation of that work; and having for their principal object the exposure of the ambitious plans of Russia, her unjust in vasion of the Caucasus, and the progress of that most un warrantable aggression, they will now be doubly interesting and acceptable to the public, when the intrigues of Russia must, ere long, involve Great Britain in an expensive war. With such a prospect before us, we cannot but feel indebted to the author of these travels for the valuable information he has laid before the public ; nor can we doubt that the rapid sale of his work will evince the anxiety which the whole country must feel upon a subject so nearly touching- the honour, pros;:erity, and existence of the empire.- -Dublin Evening Mail. SINGULAR FACT IN NATURAL HISTORY.--A few days ago a little terrier bitch, at Ty Fry, in this county, took a fancy to a young cat, and allowed it to try and suck her.

THE CORN CROPS.—The report° received to-day from different parts of the country t' ad to the conclusion that the crops generally have su f tred se verely from the late unge nial weather, If `-`de weather be not favourable for the pro cesses of ripening and harvesting, the dread of a bad defi cient harvest will turn out to have been but too well founded. Tile weather has proved pretty favourable for our Sportsmen, and we are glad to learn that they are enjoy ing a fair share of success. Subsequent accounts, how ever, confirm the statement made in our last that, though there is a good breed of birds, many of them are too young. —lnverness Courier.
